Decorate Backpacks with Cricut - Foster Care Needs Suitcases

Foster Care Needs Suitcases! Did you know that when kids are taken into Foster Care that they are often given trash bags to carry their things? Foster kids need backpacks! These children are already scared and heartbroken, and then to be told to put their things in a trash bag... Let's help with our Cricut craft ideas!

I ordered these backpacks from Amazon for $8 and $10. https://amzn.to/2UmSvXw Order a few, and get creative. You'll make some child a little less sad and give them something of their very own to carry their things in. EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CRICUT, you can still help! Order backpacks from Amazon and ship them directly to the charity. :)

These backpack ideas are also fun for back to school!

CHARITY:
I'm sending this backpack and others to The Blue Ribbon Project. https://blueribbonproject.org/ The program is comprehensive and my research tells me a wonderful organization. They call them "Backpacks of Love" and you can read all about them here: https://blueribbonproject.org/our-programs/backpacks-of-love.html After starting these I realized I also have a charity in my city that is doing much the same as The Blue Ribbon Project. If you don't want to ship items, look locally!
